Galloping almost . at will be

charged with the aggressiveness
of a- squadron of baby tanks, a
quartet of racy Carolina backs

Wake Forest down at Kenan

Coach Collins' 1931 edition of
Tar Heel gridders didn't bother
showing the Deacons any tricky
reverses or - craftily concocted
plays. It was straight football
with the old standbys ; open end
runs, off tackle smashes, and occasional-aerial
heaves, but the
charges of Pat Miller just
couldn't figure it all out. The
practically veteran Deacon line
played first class ball, but it
couldn't hold back the Blue and
White forward wall that bat
tered through repeatedly.
In regard to first downs the
Carolinians came thru at the
long end of a 12-1 count, with
tnnr4i downs exempted in the
conventional manner. Smith
and Edwards teamed up on the
ball totin' duties to make the
sole first down, for the visitors,
but only after a penalty and fre
quent balks at the line had done
their worst to make it hard for
the pair. The Deacs also took
the short count on the aerial
total, completing a lone pass as
against the three completed by
the Tar Heels.
Slusser, with three - touch
downs, to his credit, lead the
scoring, while three reserve
backs each gained a tally. Tom and one
Seen And Heard
At The Game
By Jack Bessen and
Billy McKee
Well, well, well, where are
all those blues singers now?
... It's time for that old "I
told yqu so" stuff. The
stands started filling about
1:30 and by game time there
were over 10,000 persons in
Kenan, ( fulfilling the predic
tion of the advance sales . . .
The rain almost put a crimp
in the afternoon's festivities. . . .
For a while Friday night we
thought that we would continue
where the Duke game left off,
but an early sun put the spring
back in the sod. ... Coach Bob
Fetzer, director of athletics, was
the recipient of a beautiful
floral wreath presented to the
Carolina team by Tom Doyle of
Durham ... and of course there
were the regular ceremonies at
tached to a gift of that sort. . . .
Maybe the stands didn't
applaud slightly when the first
report of the Duke-South
Carolina game came through
with Duke on the short end of
the 7-0 count. ... Johnny
Branch was appointed acting
captain, but wasn't on the
field to spin for toss with
Captain Brogden of those not
so Demoir-Deacons. . . . An
other Johnny Peacock sub
stituted and won the toss. . ....
The first stringers started off
like a house afire and kept up
the hot pace. . On the first play
Stuart Chandler ripped oft
twelve yards through tackle and
"Ripper" circled end for an
other fifteen. ... All in all it
took only ten plays to push over
the first touchdown. . . . The two
best cracks of the day: . . . Mr.

the 1931 jrridmen, who led' the Tar Heels in their 37-0 victory
over Wake Forest yesterday afternoon. Branch's punting and
field generalship and Slusser's running were big factors in the
shutout. A cut of Peacock was not available.
